Thanks for taking the time for making this tutorial, really appreciated. I always create screencast with a web-based software calls Acethinker Online Screen Recorder, It is an online tool that lets you record your screen right from the browser. Share it here as an alternative method.

Hi,

Is it possible to record something in the future with this, and make it stop after some time?

Thanks. I finally created this script:

#!/bin/bash
echo $’\n'” Video Grab Desktop”
echo $’————————-\n\a’
echo ” Syntaxe: $(basename 0) [directory]”
echo ” Output: /directory/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S ).avi”
echo -e “Attention: Records mouse cursor too.\n”
read -n1 -p “Press CTRL-C to stop encoding.
Continue? Y/n ”
if [ ! “a${REPLY,,}” == “an” ];then
avconv -f x11grab -r 15 -s 1366×768 -i :0.0 -vcodec wmv1 -acodec pcm_s16le -q 7 $1$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S ).avi
